3 goals seal an amazing comeback win against 10 man Man City
This game of football is so unpredictable ; I actually woke up at 3.30 am to watch the game between Wolves and City ; at half time I had switched off the TV and went to bed, convinced that there was no justice in the football world, with Wolves conceding a very dubious (hardly any intended contact) penalty taken twice by England international Raheem Sterling before the goal was accepted.
Wolves were down 1 - 0 against a 10 man city side ; To make matters worse, they went down 2 - 0 after Sterling lobbed the ball over Patricio in the 55th minute to make it 2 - 0.
It was as if a script out of the Twilight Zone ; then came this man Adama Traore ; an unstoppable and unmarkable player - the stuff of nightmares for opposing teams. Incredibly fast, skillful, strong and a good footballing brain to boot.
He rounded off a brilliant Wolves counter, Neves stealing the ball off the careless Sterling and Adama unleashed a thunderbolt from 25 yards leaving the City goalkeeper Bravo no chance.
1 - 2 ; Game On !
In the 81st minute, Adama again stole or bumped off a tiring Mendy making a mockery of his International standing, nutmegged Brazilian Fernandinho and passed the ball out of reach of Rodrigo for Raul Jiminez to slot home.
2 - 2 ; We have a Game !
In the 89th minute, an enlightend Matt Doherty did a neat 1 - 2 with Jiminez, rounded off 1 desperate lunge from Gundauan and curved the ball passed the hapless Bravo.
3 - 2 ; Wolves.
Needless to say, the top blew off Molineux that evening, with people hugging, crying and just plain drunkedly happy with the wicked win over the Champions.
Wolves, you have arrived.

Wolves 4 Bestikas 0
A masterclass in controlling play, with fine wing form from Pedro Neto, Winback Reuben Vinagre and clinical finishing from Diogo Jota (hat- trick) and Leander Dendoncker.
Of their new boys, Taylor Perry, Kilman, Burr, and Otosowi impressed tremendously.
Wolves, the future looks very brght. !
